Inheritance

Master storyteller and internationally bestselling author Christopher Paolini returns to the World of Eragon with Murtagh. Murtagh, a stunning epic fantasy set a year after the events of the Inheritance Cycle, will publish in 2023.

It began with Eragon . . . It ends with Inheritance, book four in The Inheritance Cycle.

Not so very long ago, Eragon - Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider - was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now, the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders.

Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still the real battle lies ahead: they must confront King Galbatorix.

When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they can't, no one can. There will be no second chances.

The Rider and his dragon have come farther than anyone dared to hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaësia? And if so, at what cost?

Featuring spectacular artwork by cult artist John Jude Palencar, this stunning book brings the bestselling Inheritance cycle to a breathtaking conclusion.

Pratchett's one-liners, the comic dialogue of the Feegles, the satire about teenagers and the credulousness of the ordinary folk make for a characteristically entertaining mix.

—— Nicolette Jones , Sunday Times

Oodles of dry wit, imagination and shrewdly observed characters

—— Independent on Sunday

Terry Pratchett kicks the bejaysus out of JK Rowling...If you haven't read Pratchett before then give yourself a treat and buy this book.

Wintersmith is not written and does not read as a "young adult" book, and succeeds all the more for that. Very enjoyable.

[The Discworld books] have retained the lively wit, sly wisdom and compelling narratives

Wintersmith is an entertaining mix of comic characters, clever diaogue and great atmosphere. It is a witty fantasy read with heights of imaginative writing that few authors can reach. There is real magic at work in Wintersmith.
